BiyoBiyo JunJun, 24 Sep 2018whats the point can buy a car if cant maintenance it , who ... moreYou'll also need to service iPhones. The warranty is worthless because in-warranty repairs cost you half the phone's price.
.andd I am not, in any way, "beaching" anyone buying those. I am seeking a valid reason as to why some persons buy such absurdly expensive items where cheaper, non knockoffs does the exact same thing for much less. It's not a status symbol because nobody cares about what phone you have. Then how do you justify it to yourself?
Unless you have something smarter to say rather than rejecting my perfectly valid question without reading it thoroughly and understanding it

Zabi, 24 Sep 2018As long as fool exist around the world, the seditious lives... morePhone market seems to surprise me. By this time phones should be like TV, microwave or fridge. Nobody buys a new microwave every couple of years. Nobody says I need to buy the latest or most expensive fridge. Features in phones are pretty much the same for last five or six years. Are the photos taken from a flagship phone so much better than photos taken from a mid range phone that one should pay $1,000 for it?

It's too hard to pass up the practicality of a car. I'd go the car and then get a featurephone.

iPhone XS Max might be a premium device but it's not a PRO. I would have considered buying it if it had a 4000 mAh battery, a 20 MP camera with a large sensor, a 16:9/17:9 6"-6.4" QHD display WITHOUT a notch, more RAM, a 3.5mm headphone jack etc

Still, the truly rich and the pretending to be rich people hypnotized by Apple's prestige marketing will fight tooth and nail to assert their wrong belief that iPhones are worth their highway robbery price due to 'superior' more expensive hardware and specs, appstore exclusives, etc., and they will happily buy one no matter what the 'lesser people' with 'poor taste' and low 'fashion IQ' say, however rich these tasteless people may be. :)
Prestige is everything for the rich and especially for the pretending to be rich even if it doesn't make sense anymore (like eating instant noodles everyday to save for that old model iPhone 6s sold at a steep discount.)
Said a guest to a waiter in a plush/fancy restaurant in a luxurious 5 star hotel "Why does food cost so much here yet it's no better than my wife's cooking?" The waiter replied,"With all due respect, sir, you're not paying for the food. You're paying for the ambiance. See that guy over there? That's Tim Cook talking with Jony Ive and a famous music artist discussing how they can promote the iPhone further to make it even more luxurious in image and pricing. Their very presence here is part of the ambiance that you are paying, and that, for many people, makes the food taste truly great here and worth the price." :)

seriouslly, Second Hand Mini Cooper is worth as iPhone. I mean, in my country, you must buy 50 iPhone XS to get Second Hand Mini Cooper, and not in good condition.
